Review

The reception area was nice and updated. We were welcomed with coconut drinks. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful. The rooms, however were tired looking and not very clean.

8/10 Very good

Would definitely stay again if in Honiara. Clean enough. No unexpected charges. Staff were great. Internet coverage depended on which way the wind was blowing.
Kim, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff is wonderful and friendly and helpful. Some of the rooms are very dated. Food quality was not very good, although they really tried.
Marilyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friday’s night party in the hotel lasted until 2am. It was not possible to sleep with the music blasting so late.
Apichai, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The worst hotel ever… Dirty moldy bathrooms, bugs, floor of unit dirty, old beds, outdated bathroom with all types of stains, bad room with direct view of parking lot and busy, noisy street. Free internet is charged after 500MB(3 days). Basically we checked out 2 nights early and buyer new tickets not to be there…

Great place to stay and relax

Really nice hotel with beautiful friendly staff. Make you very welcome. Room serviced daily Pay a bit more for upgraded room they are really nice. Standard rooms are good, aged but everything works. Restaurant is great, so are drinks outside at night. Didnt try the Japanese

Un des meilleurs hôtels à Honiara. Personnel avenant et souriant. Deux bons restaurants. Piscine. Vue sur l’océan agréable. Installations correctes. Localisation pratique. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Heureux de mon séjour de 3 nuits.

Some service issues and the property could do with some maintenance and also improve restaurant food menu.

Never disappoints

Good value for money, friendly staff and clean room. Only complaint was that guests from a function downstairs that finished at around 10.30pm were still making alot of noise at 12.30am.
JAMIE, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The Room was bad and toilet was leaking. Had cobwebs hanging in the room and it was dusty also..
Lavinia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There has no interest access in the room, and only can fine it around lobby area, Even they charge you for 50 dollars for 3GB, it allow you connect 2 devices at the same time. It doesn't not make sense.
TING YU, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Felt safe, but no elevator for 5 floors and staff wasn’t very friendly.

Would Recommend

It was great. I had a layover in the Solomon Islands that required a night stay and throughly enjoyed my time at the hotel and airport shuttle. I would recommend to anyone. Good food/restaurant, spent the morning before my flight at the pool and water lounge chairs and found the staff accommodating and helpful.

Darren, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stops looking, this is where you want to book. We had the unexpected pleasure to spend an extra week in the Solomon Islands. There's limited lodging in the city, this is by far your best value. Four-star is pretty accurate, there is some minor room maintenance that could help. The five-star hotel nearby is unaffordable and the three-star looks it. And where this hotel shines, is the very attentive, friendly staff. Plus two good restaurants on site, a pool, an amazing activities concierge (Francis!) For the somewhat rough city you are in one of the safer areas, we felt safe walking nearby. I highly recommend if you're in town that this is one of the best places to go.
Nathan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location

First the positive, the staff are very nice and friendly. The room was clean but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The shower head was so clogged there was only a trickle of water coming down, but to their credit when I complained the hotel fixed it right away. There is no complimentary water in the room, one must buy it at the restaurant for US$2 equivalent for 1.5l. Wi-Fi is weak, and it is only included in the room for 3 days. After the 3 days you must buy additional GB at high price (or buy from the telecom company and use your cellphone as hotspot). The beach and the waterfront is generally dirty and the water is not very attractive, probably due to the activity on the wharf next door. The pool was not open to the public during my stay, no explanation given, just a sign. The ‘’buffet’’ breakfast (not included in the room) is quite expensive and frankly not very good.
Michel, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ok
Jose, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overpriced

Standard not living up to the price. It is worn and in need of renovation. We had breakfast for only one person, the other one was asked to pay - but the brakfast was not worth paying for. WiFi should be free, but was severely limited, so we had to pay for most of it - something we have not seen anywhere else in the world for at least 20 years. If the price had been half it would have been ok.
Dorte, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice and comfortable hotel close to the city. Excellent staff, very helpful.
